Sunday is the best day in London as its when the Columbia Road Flower Market takes over said street. My comrades were a little tired and became somewhat overwhelmed by the number of people and the yelling of the stall holders, but I basked in it.

The same weekend we visited renowned florist Rebel Rebel, who had a truly beautiful selection of blooms on display and some gorgeously overflowing bouquets out the back waiting to be taken to some special event or other.

Scanning flowers gives these beautiful objects a unique rawness, detail, intensity and eeriness. Some examples below are complication arrangements and others just a single bloom, others use plastic flowers and digital alteration.

Tomorrow I leave Paris to spend a few weeks in Italy, sticking mainly to the north. One of my best friends Tiffany recently took a trip around the country and took some beautiful photographs for The Secret Garden. I have based her first post on the colours red and pink, the two to follow will have a colour theme of their own. Thank you so much to the lovely Tiffany. Enjoy!
